Started indoor rowing daily ~1 month ago. Already able to extend my sessions’ duration by 2x. Love it for how low impact and yet holistic of a workout it is. Any rowing maxis here with some tips or experience? Erg Concept2 if that matters

Any tips on how to endure longer row sessions? I sometimes warmup rowing for a couple of minutes and it starts to feel rather uncomfortable.

Also not a big fan of the leg straps loosening quite easily on most machines I’ve tried.

I just start easy and slow, near 3 mins per 500m, and with resistance set to 5 out of 10 (never higher). I also keep my mind off by watching something. I start ramping up the effort once I feel comfortable
